For Sale3 Bedroom Detached Bungalow in Avalanche Road, Portland£735,000

“We never thought we would part with 161 Avalanche Road. This home has been in our family for generations – originally designed by my father and built by my grandfather, a master stonemason, alongside his colleagues. He created four or five unique homes across Portland, but this one was special, complete with its witching stone chimney – said in folklore to be where witches could rest on their way across the island. It is full of character, history, and heart, which is why we have cherished it so much.” “For our part, we added to that legacy with a large L-shaped wraparound extension. My husband and his builder friends constructed it according to my design, giving us an incredible kitchen-diner – our favourite space – as well as extra dining and living areas, plus a huge bedroom that could easily be split into two. The kitchen is particularly unique: its island rests on Portland Stone cylinders, gifted to us by a local firm, topped with a beautiful marble surface. It has been the perfect spot for everyday life and entertaining alike. “The outside space is equally special. The landscaped garden is a peaceful oasis with patios and al fresco seating. Peppered with mature apple, pear and cider apple trees, the garden itself flows into a field with wild areas for bees and butterflies, which has been lovely for children’s birthday parties. Beyond the back wall, open fields stretch right to the island’s edge. Having so much outdoor space has contributed to family and work life alike, enabling us to build a thriving boarding cattery here. There is parking for ten cars and planning permission for a 50 x 30 ft log cabin, offering even more potential for additional living or holiday rental accommodation. “Despite the tranquillity, the location is wonderfully convenient: shops, cafés and a bus stop are just minutes away, and the mainland is easily reached. Above all, we will miss the community, the calm, and the outlook that made this such a peaceful place to call home.” Living Room 6.88m max x 4.06m max (22'6" max x 13'3" max) Dining Room 5.66m x 3.38m (18'6" x 11'1") Kitchen/Dining Area 8.41m max x 4.01m max (27'7" max x 13'1" max) Utility 3.20m x 2.92m (10'5" x 9'6") Bedroom One 5.23m max x 5.00m max (17'1" max x 16'4" max) Dressing Room 3.45m x 2.16m (11'3" x 7'1") En Suite Bedroom Two 8.95m x 3.38m (29'4" x 11'1") Bedroom Three 4.55m x 3.15m (14'11" x 10'4") Family Bathroom Cattery Section One 4.72m max x 3.33m max (15'5" max x 10'11" max) Cattery Section Two 11.46m max x 5.33m max (37'7" max x 17'5" max) Cattery Section Three 3.51m max x 2.67m max (11'6" max x 8'9" max) Cattery Section Four 10.67m max 4.57m max (35'0" max 14'11" max) Garden Room 3.51m x 2.90m (11'6" x 9'6") Garage 4.90m max x 2.92 max (16'0" max x 9'6" max) Shed 8.99m x 2.90m (29'5" x 9'6") Additional Information The following details have been provided by the vendor, as required by Trading Standards.
